The shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 children and two adults dead in May marked the 27th school shooting with injuries or deaths this year in the U.S. Last Friday, with the new school year approaching, Sahuarita police conducted active shooter training at Walden Grove High School to prepare for similar emergencies.
